You know, I just read something on Mercury that may explain why Takeuchi-san decided to associate her with ice. Mercury only has 1 and a half rotations in the amount of time it takes the planet to orbit the Sun. The planet takes 88 of our days to orbit the sun, and the planet takes 59 to rotate fully. So, as a result, the dark side of the planet plummets in temperature, to around -170 degrees C. That could very well be why Ami's associated with ice in the series.

Oh, and a slight side note. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, due to the over-active greenhouse effect of it's atmosphere. It also takes longer to rotate than it does to orbit the sun. It takes 225 of our days for it to complete it's orbit, and 243 days to rotate.
